It is really rare to be visiting Tokyo with yellow leaves in December but it happens at Meiji Jingu. Be sure to be there as early as possible to avoid the crowds, it can get pretty crowded even on weekdays with lots of cool pictures opportunities. The best time to visit is definitely during early November to mid November but sometimes even in December, you will still be able to see beautiful yellow leaves here! #meijijingumae #tokyo #Onlyintokyo #Yellow #Beautiful #falls

Ginkgo Avenue of Tokyo Jingu Gaien is one of the most famous ginkgo viewing spots in Japan, located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. From mid-November to early December each year, the ginkgo trees here turn golden, forming a beautiful golden ocean, attracting a large number of tourists to watch. Tour guide: 1. Best viewing time: The best viewing time is from mid-November to early December each year, when the ginkgo leaves have completely turned yellow, showing a golden scene under the sunlight. 2. Transportation: Take the subway Hanzomon Line or Ginza Line from Tokyo Station to Kudanshita Station, and walk about 10 minutes to get there. You can also take a bus to Kudanshita or Gaienmae Station. 3. Tickets: Free. But you need to buy tickets to visit the inside of the shrine, 300 yen for adults, 150 yen for students. 4.

In addition, you can also visit other attractions in the shrine, such as the main hall, worship hall, etc. 5. Precautions: Since there are a large number of tourists every year, it is recommended to avoid going on weekends and holidays as much as possible to avoid too many people affecting the viewing experience. In addition, since ginkgo leaves are easy to fall when the wind is strong, be careful when watching. 6.

The Ginkgo Avenue in the Outer Garden of Meiji Shrine is less than 200 meters long, with four rows of neatly planted ginkgo trees on both sides of the road. The trees are pruned into a tower shape, with a carriageway in the middle and sidewalks on both sides. From mid-November to early December each year is the season to watch the yellow leaves. On November 13, 2023, I went to the Outer Garden of Meiji Shrine for the first time. The ginkgo leaves hadn't turned yellow much, except for some leaves on the top of some trees were a bit yellow, most of them were light green. A week later, on November 20, most of the leaves had turned yellow, and some trees had turned golden. It was a sunny day, and the Ginkgo Avenue under the blue sky was so beautiful. I guess in a few days, when all the leaves turn golden and the fallen leaves cover the ground, the scene will be even more charming. Transportation: Take the Toei Oedo Line to Aoyama-itchome Station, remember to take Exit 1, take the elevator to the ground, walk about 200 meters to the left, and turn right is Ginkgo Avenue. Note: You can't walk on the carriageway to take pictures. There is a line between the sidewalk and the carriageway. There are police cars patrolling, using horns to remind people not to walk out of the road to take pictures. Many people will stop to take pictures when the pedestrian crossing light is green, and some people will walk to the edge of the road to take pictures when the police car is not there.

This hidden gem is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience the magic of autumn in Japan. Where even the trees are getting dressed up for fall!

Remember to check the calendar to catch the leaves showing off their fall fashion. Timing is everything in the world of leaves, and you don't want to miss this colorful runway show! 🥹✨ #awesomepic

#helloautumn Sharing with you my favorite autumn spot in Japan. This is the famous Meiji Jingu Gaien's ginkgo three lined avenue. I've been here two times already. They have Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Festival to celebrate fall foliage. There are street performers and food booths around the area. It gets really crowded here during its peak. If you are in Tokyo during fall, don't miss to see this avenue. Do a research first before going tho, the leaves might not changed colors yet. I went 3rd week of November. Access: 3 minutes walk from Gaienmae Station Exit 4a exit. Also 5 mins walk from Aoyama Icchome Station Exit 1

#tokyo I know it is spring season now but let's reminisce the beautiful autumn season last year. We have been wanting to visit Meiji Jingu for the longest time ever and last autumn our dream had become a reality ! One of the many beautiful spots with amazing views of leaves all bloomed in yellow ! It was magic, I swear ! We loved it so much that we spent the entire afternoon just sitting under the gingko trees, admiring the lovely season. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #awesomepic

Best time to visit at autumn and when leaves are full bloom yellow. The trees at both sides give a spectacular view. Some might say that this place is overrated but i can say is it not. If you're in the area, this is the best place to enjoy autumn foliage in the city. The place can get a little bit crammed on weekends so plan your visit well. We are lucky to stumble upon a local food festival. The food are cheap and delicous. #autumn #tokyojapan

I heard that Meiji Jingu Gaien is one of the best places in Tokyo to see yellow leaves. I went there in late November, and although there was still some greenery, there were already a lot of people there. It had a stylish atmosphere, so I'd like to go again this year. Olympic Square is also around there. #trip2023 #MeijiJinguGaien

DAY3 Wandering around Tokyo, I went to Meiji Jingu Gaien in the afternoon to admire the ginkgo trees in late November. I unexpectedly came across the Forest Artisan Market next to it. The people at the door were trying very hard to attract customers (Japanese culture of attracting customers). I just walked around. I can only say that it was a very attentive small market. There was no one there, and I felt that the artisans did not make any money. I still ate a Hiroshima yaki (wonderful taste) before leaving. Sorry, I didn't go into the shrine, I've been there before, so I came here for the ginkgo. XD The blooming of ginkgo trees is spectacular and well worth a visit from early November to mid-December. You can arrange a day trip to Meiji Jingu Shrine. #TokyoTourism #Tokyo #Japan #JapanFreeTravel #TokyoMeijiJingu #2022JapanTravel

#AutumnTrip Meiji Shrine Gaien was dedicated to Meiji Shrine on October 22, 1926, as a base for the dissemination of culture and sports, funded by donations and trees from citizens across the country, and volunteer work by youth groups, in order to pass on the virtues of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken to future generations. On both sides of the road overlooking the Shotoku Memorial Picture Gallery from Aoyama-dori, there are 146 ginkgo trees that have been standing since the shrine's founding. The leaves start to turn yellow around mid-November and shine golden in late November. The best time to see them is mid-November to early December^_^ 〒107-0061 Around 2-chome, Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo

#meettokyo The Ichi Namiki ( Gingko Avenue ) is a very popular attractions especially during Autumn as visitor can see the gingko tree lined avenue along the street in Meiji Jingu Gaien Park. The uniquely trimmed tress turn to a brilliant golden color in late November, drawing crowds of people to stroll under the leaves or relax at one of many benches or sidewalk cafes along the street. It can be accessed by Aoyama Itchome Subway Station and the entrance is free.

Meiji Shrine Gaien in November last year. The rows of ginkgo trees dyed yellow were very beautiful! I recommend sitting on a bench and relaxing while enjoying the autumn leaves. It gets crowded during the day, so it's better to go in the morning. It seems to be lit up at night. #autumntrip #breathtakingview #tokyo #trip2022 #autumnleaves #autumnleafviewing

A beautiful shrine. Busy but fascinating with traditional Shinto weddings taking place and other ritual displays. This avenue has been in many Japanese TV shows and movies for a good reason. It's beautiful when the leaves are all yellow. Go early in the morning. It is a calm retreat in a vibrant city close to Shinjuko center. Sit down and breath for a minute. Some cafes and restaurants in the park and a green house with exotic plants. This was one of the first places I visited in Tokyo and I think of it with quite a lot of nostalgia. It felt so foreign to me but really peaceful and 'Japanese' - it was exactly what I was looking for to start off my trip. Serene ambiance, perfect armony of nature and man made landscape. One of the places in such big city to find equilibrium. Beautifully clean and well kept and set my expectations for the rest of my travels. #givethanks #givethanks

Tokyo in the fall is the most beautiful season of the year. Originally, it was the route to enjoy the maple. I didn't expect to meet the most beautiful autumn colors here. Tokyo Ginkgo Avenue, two rows of ginkgo biloba, look at the top, full of trees with golden armor, layered ginkgo leaves, golden gingko in the sun Its more dazzling when you shine, and its beautiful.

Located between Shibuya and Shinjuku in Tokyo, Meiji Jingu Gaien is a place where redevelopment plans have been repeatedly postponed due to public opposition (personally, I hope it remains undeveloped). The ginkgo trees, which stretch sharply towards the sky, are particularly striking. In autumn, the area is adorned with yellow foliage, making it a recommended visit during the fall season. Location: Search for 'Meiji Jingu Gaien' on Google Maps.

#JapanTravel Meiji Shrine Outer Garden Ginkgo Tree Street located between Tokyo's Shibuya Ward and Shinjuku Ward. The ginkgo trees that stretch up to the sky are impressive, and the yellow maple leaves in autumn are particularly impressive. It is one of the places that many people visit, especially during November and December, when there is a nighttime light-up event. Location: Search for "Jingu Outer Garden" on Google Maps This photo was taken on December 3rd last year.

#sakura2024 #traveljapan #traveltokyo #meijijingu 🌸🌸For Thais like us, whose country only has summer, rainy season and no cold season, seeing the changing leaves is really exciting. 🌸🌸Icho Namiki Gingo Avenue is a street in Meiji Jingu Gaien Park. Around November, the leaves of the ginkgo trees will turn bright yellow, making the whole street bright. It's not difficult to get there and it's not far from Harajuku.

Meiji Jingu Gaien is one of the most famous ginkgo viewing spots in Tokyo. The best time to view the ginkgo trees is from late November to early December each year. The ginkgo trees along the entire avenue will be dyed a golden color. The ginkgo trees illuminated by lights from day to night are very beautiful. If you have time, be sure to visit during both periods. Since it is a very popular spot for silver viewing, it is recommended to get up earlier to take more pictures of the less crowded and noisy street scenes. It will be more enjoyable to rent a kimono like I did and then come here to take pictures! #GlobalTravel

#cherryblossom2024 It is a shrine located in a dense forest in the city center. It may be okay if you want to stroll through nature in the city center, but if you want to see the shrine, it is not a very good choice. If you want something to see, you'd better go to other Shrines. There are so many tourists that the role of a tourist destination is emerging rather than a religious facility. Of course, it can be said that this is not a shrine commonly visited by ordinary people, but rather a place with great historical symbolism.

#2024wish Gorgeous park with a road lined with ginkgo trees that turn golden in the fall In fall, the park is extremely popular, so the sidewalks are completely full, but a slower pace gives you more time to enjoy the great golden leaves! There’s a Shake Shack on the road and it’s close to museums.
